7. Given each set of information, determine how many triangles can be drawn.
Calculate, then label, all side lengths to the nearest tenth and all interior
angles to the nearest degree, where appropriate.
a) a 5 1.5 cm, b 5 2.8 cm, and / A 5 41°
b) a 5 2.1 cm, c 5 6.1 cm, and / A 5 20°
8. To estimate the amount of usable lumber in a tree, Chitra must first estimate
the height of the tree. From points A and B on the ground, she determined
that the angles of elevation for a certain tree were 41° and 52°, respectively.
The angle formed at the base of the tree between points A and B is 90°, and
A and B are 30 m apart. If the tree is perpendicular to the ground, what is its
height to the nearest metre?
